EPTI'm not saying Supernova is bad, since he is certainly not. I'm saying a player of lower caliber can beat a really good player with tactics such as these. (I'm not even saying Supernova is worse then MC, but it's still a fact that these builds take lower skill to execute than to defend against).

That is what made MC lose, had he had a observer he would have won ^^ Supernova doing some good mind-tricks though Do not ever go no robo unless you're sure that you're opponent is going a low gas build. MC had scouted pretty much nothing at all and still decided to skip the robo, which is a stupid move which obviously showed this game. | ||

To be fair, Protoss should almost always make a Robo. Because observers. | ||

Why does one player have to play it safe? Supernova was doing a one base all in that wasn't safe either. | ||

You CANT assume gasless expand from quick wallin anymore since the rax nerf, any build can do a quick wallin except 2 rax and still do normal. On cross positions there is absolutely no risk of pressure if you've seen 2 depots so just ALWAYS go quick robo after FE then MC.. Stupid suicide toss from time to time. | ||

It takes just as much skill to not make an observer against a guy who went cloak banshee in every game before that. Not the best series of all time, but oh well. It's always depressing to watch one cloak unit come into a base and kill everything. Inca vs. Polt being another example. | ||

It makes for very boring BO losses against every race which needs tech to detect... every one but Terran. You know there are BO losses to Cloak Banshees even in TvT, right? | ||
